Let me know when you get going again, I might be able to get you some moss or Rotala Rotundifolia for cheap.

Cool thanks.

When I'm ready I will most likely start a WTB/RAOK thread for plants that I will need for my new set ups. Right now, our plans are to be back home by Xmas.

Last shot before breakdown and 2 weeks of blackout. Looks pretty good except for all the crypts that melted. I amazed the plants lasted this long with zero lights and zero anything !

My bush of Rotala.

Oh my dear frrok! I'm sorry to hear about the damage and losses that you've suffered but I am completely confident that you will be back on TPT with that 120 and I'll be appropriately (and disgustedly) jealous! Everyone takes a break now and then from the hobby (including myself, when these types of events happen) but I look forward to your return and wish you all the best!

your beginning -> end -> beginning statement is a very ancient ideology. and one i, personally, am drawn to. even got a tattoo of an ouroboros. i think its a very healthy way to look at damage.

sometimes I believe events happen for a reason and not by chance...

Thanks. They are Aquatic magic. Look for the redux on this tank in the near future.

Joe, what happened in our area was awful. My area got hit pretty bad, and then I saw Broad Channel, Rockaways, and Breezy Point and it was somehow even worse. Im sorry to hear about your condo. I didnt get my power/heat back until Friday. I don't know if you guys have hot water down there, and I dont think you do, but doing water changes with hot water can help keep the temps up. Thats what I did for two weeks with my community tank.

Thanks mike. For a little bit I was going to my neighbors, they had gas, heating some water and adding it to the tank in water bottles. But I wasn't staying home at night so the temp would just drop super low anyway. Anyway, I have some ideas on how to keep my tanks and other things running in event of a disaster. This thing taught me a huge lesson that's for sure.
